I’d have been very proud to have written the dropdown lists that would generate her combo.
It was, unbeatably, Maya Angelou and Jessica Mitford covering Dicks-Rudge’s “Right Said Fred”
I congratulated her with open envy at her having created such a marvellous musical feathered fish.

“No, you don’t understand. It exists. It’s an actual thing.”
I froze, uncomprehending.

Slowly she turned her laptop towards me.



The internet remains undefeated.
